‘Fake Scot’ SNP MP Angus Robertson accuses Theresa May of running a 'Little Britain Brexit' campaign which will hit jobs and pay, the grievance mode is deflection from the facts of life, Nicola Sturgeon has to go to the polls in 2018 for an outright SNP majority for a mandate for indyref 2, the Nationalists bluff has been called, put up or shut up!

Dear All

It looks like it is going to be what is described as ‘hard’
Brexit as it should be, there are many issues relating to why people voted to
leave the EU but these are symptoms of what the main point was concerning the British people.

Sovereignty!

Sovereignty is the key reason of why 17 million people voted
to leave the EU after over 40 years of membership.

I personally doubt we will be the last country to leave, but
we have set what could be a trend. I was as many blog readers know a fan of the
EU. The EU was set up for noble reasons to promote peace and trade in Europe, but the organisation didn’t develop as it should
have done.

It became clearly anti worker and anti country, took over by
politicians who put the interests of big corporations before European harmony.

People had put up with a lot but the tipping point came when
people like Merkel and Juncker decided that they could threaten the UK and others
into doing their will by using denial of finance as a weapon. On and off you
will have read my stuff on how currency is a weapon of the modern age just as
much as the bomb and the bullet.

Currency was used to destroy Greece so effectively that they
have never recovered, it also allow the country to be asset stripped as well.

Yesterday was an interesting day in politics, for some
people the significance of the day wasn’t realised as Theresa May made a speech
on the EU and upcoming talks on Brexit.

Domestically the Prime Minister Theresa May called unpopular
Nicola Sturgeon’s bluff on a second independence referendum by default. The by product
sent the SNP into a meltdown as they have been called out to put up or shut up,
down the line this leaves Nicola Sturgeon with a question.

The question isn’t whether she calls for a second
independence referendum but whether she gambles on going to the polls in 2018.

Nicola Sturgeon needs another Scottish mandate to present to
Westminster; the Conservatives may feel that
they stand to gain North and South of the Scottish border because the Labour
Party is in chaos, particularly in Scotland.

Can the Conservatives in Scotland do better than their 2016
Holyrood showing?

Now, that is a question, clearly between now and a possible
2018 election, I don’t see Scottish Labour making a recovery either within its
ranks or with the public. The Scottish Labour Party has an upcoming civil war
to fight between Kezia Dugdale’s centre right and Momentum. I expect that episode
to dominate Labour’s thinking as everyone expects Labour to be crushed in 2017
at the Council elections.

The SNP are cooked on Brexit, overplayed their hand and
nowhere to go, they are reduced yet again to sniping at the Tories. Englishman
Angus Robertson who I describe as a ‘fake Scot’ is trying to muddy up the
waters so that you the voter get distracted from the disaster that is unfolding
before your eyes.

Robertson’s take is that Theresa May is steering the UK
into a "Little Britain Brexit" that will hit jobs and pay.

The SNP leader in Westminster
added that all political parties in Scotland
are united in their opposition to plans to take the UK out of the single market.

This statement isn’t true!

Ukip Scotland
isn’t supporting this, regardless how you personally feel about the party; they
are a party legally recognised by the Electoral Commission. The Ukip position
is to be out of the single market.

What Robertson is going is using language to de-legitimise
the party in the eyes of the public; he is doing propaganda, simple and crude,
and easily destroyed by simple research that doesn’t go beyond general
knowledge.

Angus Robertson being a fool isn’t new by any means, however
his demand to know if the Prime Minister will stick to her promise to treat Scotland as an
"equal partner" is erroneous. Scotland
has 59 MPs and England has
533 MPs, so when people talk about equal partnerships, they are talking about
equality in the individual and not the countries that make up the Union.

Clearly 59 MPs cannot have the same influence as 533 MPs.

During PMQs, he said:

"Shortly after the Prime Minister confirmed that she
wants to take the UK out of
the single European market, the Scottish Parliament voted by a large,
cross-party majority to remain in the single European market, just as a large
majority of people in Scotland
voted to remain in the European Union. The Prime Minister has said that Scotland is an equal partner in the United Kingdom.
Does she still believe this is true or is she just stringing the people of Scotland
along?"

If you think back to my BBC appearance on the Big Debate, I
said that all the devolved administrations should have some role in the Brexit
talk;, something that Gordon Brewer said was ‘very noble’.

It may or may not be very noble but it was more to do with
practical matters which needed to be taken into account, later on the
Conservatives announced the same idea as me.

George Laird right again and ahead of the curve.

The Prime Minister has insisted she is committed to working
with Scotland and all the
devolved administrations as she severs ties with Brussels which is pretty standard fare,
nothing much can be read into that at present.

According to her the biggest threat to Scotland and the Scottish economy
was the nationalist threat of another independence referendum.

She said:

"I refer you to my speech yesterday, where I reiterated
my commitment to be working with the devolved administrations to ensure that
their voice is heard, that their interests are taken into account as we proceed
along this path of negotiating our exit from the European Union. And, also, I
specifically referenced the Scotland
plan. I understand the Welsh Government will be producing a plan for Wales for us to
look at too. That Scotland
plan will be being considered by the JMC (Joint Ministerial Committee) on
European negotiations tomorrow, I believe. We will be looking at it seriously
and working with the Scottish Government on the proposals they bring
forward."

Is there a possibility of another independence referendum?

Yes, there is that possibility but the SNP need to win
another outright majority like they did in 2011 and given the list system that
is a crap shoot. The second independence referendum won’t be given on the basis
a majority in Holyrood, Sturgeon is effectively forced to get an outright
majority by the SNP.

If there is a second campaign, I don’t see a Better Together
2 being formed, that project turned out to be a costly disaster that didn’t
properly mesh together.

Scotland
in Union, this is a group of various people;
however you might want to check out who’s who in their team, some of whom I
know in passing.

An interesting person to note is ex Labour MSP Graeme
Pearson, he is the Chief Executive, he maybe in charge of a campaigning
organisation but the reality is he doesn’t really know sweet FA about
campaigning really. He stood for Labour and was selected as a candidate based
on his past employment not on his history of political activism.

If I was a betting man, I would lay money that he isn’t
going regular activism for the Labour Party week in week out.

The Scotland
in Union organisation seems to be the only logical choice as the main vehicle
for any indyref 2 that comes down the pipeline for the pro UK side, although they aren’t
developed enough at present they are gearing up their ground operations.

Keep a weather eye on their future activities.

After being called out a panicked and hysterical is keen to
shift the spotlight off Nicola Sturgeon’s failure, to that end, grievance mode
is in full swing with Angus Robertson saying Scotland's leading economic
forecaster has warned that "real wages will fall" as a result of
Brexit.

He added:

"The forecast for people's income is that it is likely
to drop by £2,000 and that 80,000 people may lose their jobs in Scotland as a
result of the hard Tory Brexit plan of the Prime Minister. Does the Prime
Minister believe that this is a price worth paying for her little Britain
Brexit?"

If that is the case, the question then arises how many jobs
would have been lost if Scotland
had voted for independence.

The losses are estimated at 320,000 job losses and £32
billion in GDP; let that sink in for a moment. Think of it in these terms every
public service body hit by savage cuts, every council shedding jobs, services
and cutting budgets and critically the Health Service is a crisis you can
fathom.

Change can be progressive if thought-out and planned, but in
certain scenarios, there will not be goodwill on both sides and as the threats
escalate from Europe; hard Brexit maybe a pain
worth paying because it won’t be one sided.

The British market for cars is said to help employ about a
million people in Germany, if there isn’t a tariff free trade agreement you
might find down the line that there will be a lot of Germans facing
unemployment, and when big business loses money they ‘lean’ on politicians.

Lots of things are happening at present so you have to look
close to see if there is a pattern emerging, I think that a risk is taking
place, a gamble, that gamble is whether the SNP risk going the polls in 2018.

Will unpopular Nicola Sturgeon have the bottle to risk her
political future not on the win but getting an overall majority in her own
right as proof of mandate for a second indyref 2?

In the mean time, watching the Nationalists squirm has a
certain amusement value don’t you think?

That PIG of an arsehole, "Agnes" Robertson is way out of his depth. In his Moray constituency, Remain won by ONLY 122 votes. Only 2 or 3 years ago, the SNZP didn't want to be in the EU, now they want to remain.The Natz do NOT speak for Scotland. More people in Scotland either voted LEAVE or didn't bother to vote at all, than those who voted remain. The SNZP are liars and hypoctites,, as George said,, Robertson, either "PUT UP OR SHUT UP", you childish, bastard.

Wasn’t it last week the fake nationalist, hideously repulsive Sturgeon was bawling, shouting for the right to flood Scotland with more immigrants. Today we get another 11.000 Scots unemployed. Wasn’t the rise 14,000 between August and October. Does she care about Scots unemployed. She screams she wants to stay in the single market to protect workers rights, ‘ she must mean public sector workers rights’ it’s certainly not the private sector workers, unless these rights include the right to zero hour contracts, no sick pay, no holiday pay and if unemployed, no dole money and forced work for a giro.Is this woman insane. Why has she no opposition?

Judging by what's going on here, either they make it from luck on another run (especially if people are pissed off enough about the Scotland-Brexit situation) OR the SNP bungle it, lose (majority OR referendum 2), and sink. I can't see them surviving the latter.
